Eating flax is one of the healthiest, most delicious ways you can boost your health. It is an excellent source of the essential fatty acids (EFAs) that Dr. Whitaker recommends for optimal health.

Flax is packed with heart-healthy omega-3s…

Good fats include the omega-3s and the omega-6s. Omega-6 EFAs are common and can be found in vegetable oils and meat. Omega-3 EFAs, however, are much more elusive in the Western diet, and are found mainly in cold-water fish, such as salmon. Research suggests you need both of these EFAs to maintain a healthy heart.

In the typical North American diet, we consume sufficient amounts of omega-6 fats, but not enough omega-3s. Flaxseed is chock-full of omega-3s, with a quarter-cup containing 9,000 mg! Premium Gold Flax gives you the EFAs your body needs to support a healthy heart and cholesterol levels.

…Natural lignans for breast, immune and cellular health…

In addition, Premium Gold Flax contains lignans, which support your immune system, breast tissue and overall cellular health. Lignans are natural, steroid-like compounds (also known as phytoestrogens) found in many plants, the richest source being flaxseed.

…Plus plenty of fiber, for healthy digestion and weight.

It’s well-known that fiber helps to promote regularity. That’s because fiber acts as a “magic broom,” sweeping out your digestive tract. Fiber is also a key part of a cholesterol maintenance program, and Premium Gold Flax is a great source of fiber.

Premium Gold starter kits and refill bags include flaxseeds that are whole, to preserve their precious omega-3 oils. If you can grind your flax right before you eat it, that's the best way to guarantee you’ll get all the benefits.

“Flax is a nutritional powerhouse. It promotes normal cholesterol levels, helps maintain breast and colon health, promotes healthy skin, and has fiber to fill you up. Folks, I think these little seeds may be the most therapeutic food in the world!”
